In the cold I will rise, I will bathe br In waters of ice; myself br Will shiver, and shrive myself, br Alone in the dawn, and anoint br Forehead and feet and hands; br I will shutter the windows from light, br I will place in their sockets the four br Tall candles and set them aflame br In the grey of the dawn; and myself br Will lay myself straight in my bed, br And draw the sheet under my chin.
